Learn about Luiz Silva's success story and the role of FELINO machines

Before dedicating himself exclusively to baking, Luiz Silva had a promising career in the kitchen
professional. It all began when, on his days off at the São Gabriel restaurant in Almancil, he started
making bread for neighbours and colleagues. "Little by little I fell in love with it and started making
bread for the staff, for the clients, for my neighbours. Everything grew," says Luiz Silva. What
seemed to be just a one-off experience, it quickly turned into a life project, which
led to the creation of Pão com Manteiga in 2019, which is already a benchmark for both its quality and
by using natural fermentation, a method that Luiz learnt and perfected over the years
Since then, the brand has grown significantly and now has a new factory in Loulé. A
its commitment to natural fermentation and quality ingredients, such as Castro Marim fleur de sel, sets the bakery apart in the market. However, producing artisanal products on a large scale requires precision and
reliability, which is only possible with the right equipment.

FELINO SL spiral mixer

Efficiency and Precision for the Christmas Season

Main features of FELINO SL kneaders:

1. Cast iron construction: The cast iron structure guarantees solid equipment that will stand the test of time, while reducing vibrations and noise during operation;

2. SL03 and SL05 versionsThese models allow for different production capacities, with the SL03 and SL05 adapted to produce variable quantities of dough with 30 and 50kg of flour per work cycle;

3. Centre cone bowlThe SL series' centre cone bowl makes it easy to process small and large quantities of dough and ensures efficient, homogeneous mixing without tearing the dough;

4. Exclusive rounded designThe rounded shape is a unique feature on the market that makes cleaning easier and reduces the risk of residue build-up;

5. Colour options: We have brought back the FELINO tradition of the 1970s to offer the SL03 model (30kg) in various colours, such as blue, green, pink and orange, in addition to the traditional white, allowing professionals to integrate the machine into their work environment in a personalised and aesthetically pleasing way.

Technical Features:

• Bidirectional bowl rotationBi-directional rotation makes kneading more versatile and adaptable to different types of dough.
• Variable Speed SystemProvides precise control over the process, adjusting the mixing intensity for different recipes.
• Wheels for easy movementThe wheels allow the machine to be moved easily, making it easier to adapt the production layout.

To maximise performance and ensure that FELINO equipment continues to operate at maximum efficiency, FELINO's specialised technical assistance, the Technical Assistance Services (STAF), is the ideal solution. Carrying out preventive maintenance during this period is a strategic measure to avoid unexpected downtime and additional costs. The STAF service also provides the use of original FELINO parts and develops personalised maintenance plans that extend the useful life of all equipment.

FELINO dough divider with 12 divisions

Innovation for more efficiency in larger products

At FELINO, innovation is driven by our customers' needs and market trends. Our commitment to excellence and the continuous search for solutions that make professionals' day-to-day lives easier have led us to develop a new knife and presser foot system for FELINO Roll Dividers that makes it possible to divide the dough produced into 12 units. This development is a direct response to the growing demand for larger products, such as large loaves of bread and mini pizzas, which has led to a significant increase in productivity in factories producing in this segment. 

With fewer divisions, you can increase the amount of dough per division and reach up to 250g per ballThis is a fundamental feature for producing items that require a larger and more consistent dough, especially mini pizzas, to guarantee their final quality. This flexibility in dividing the dough, made possible by the ease and speed of replacing the presser foot+knife kit, takes the equipment's potential to a new level of versatility, adapting perfectly to different production requirements.

The Dvisora winder retains all its FELINO features and is available in automatic and semi-automatic models. In both cases, the equipment is built with the quality and robustness that defines us, drawing on FELINO's consolidated experience in cast iron machinery. In addition to precision cutting and winding, these machines have been designed to operate in an efficient and simplified manner, provide greater control over production and optimise the workflow in your bakery or pastry shop.

This new configuration with 12 divisions reinforces the position of the FELINO rolling divider as a complete and versatile solution for large-scale production, without ever compromising the artisanal quality of the products. Whether it's for large loaves of bread, mini pizzas or other large-scale confections, the FELINO Rolling Divider transforms the right amount of dough, making your production process more efficient and your end customers more satisfied.

Mixer with variable speed system

Get to know the new FELINO SL kneading machine

In an excellent bakery or patisserie, the creation of superior products is based on a complex synergy of factors. The mastery of the baker or pastry chef, combined with the careful selection of quality ingredients, is fundamental. However, the real art lies in the ability to process these ingredients at the precise moment, with the right intensity, guaranteeing a homogeneous mixture that respects increasingly meticulous processes. This precision, at every stage of production, is what distinguishes truly exceptional products.

Aware of this need for precision, FELINO presents the variable speed kneader. This technological innovation transcends mere technical improvement to become a tool that gives professionals a higher level of control and customisation and thus provides concrete benefits that optimise the kneading process. 

Consider the ability to adjust the speed precisely for each formulation, from delicate doughs for viennoiserie to more robust ones for rustic breads. The FELINO SL03 kneader materialises this flexibility, which translates into significant improvements in texture, flavour development and operational efficiency. We set out to analyse how this technology is raising the standards of precision and quality in modern bakery units, complementing the expertise of master bakers and pastry chefs with a tool that matches their art.

Practical benefits for everyday life

1. Unrivalled versatility: Adjust the speed for each recipe and guarantee perfect results for slow-rising breads, puff pastry or brioches;
2. Superior Quality Control: The ability to adjust the speed during the process allows the gluten to develop optimally, for perfect textures;
3. Energy Efficiency: Use only the power you need and reduce energy consumption and operating costs;
4. Improved Hygiene: For more liquid doughs, adjust the speed to avoid splashing and keep the work area clean;
5. Equipment preservation: Customised speeds mean less mechanical stress, for a longer service life for your equipment.
